It was my daughter’s 3rd birthday and We had made this reservation specifically for the Character Breakfast. We had learned they no longer offer the Character Breakfast and yet it is still advertised. Other than than, service and food was very good.

Great restaurant in the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal. We ate here twice during our stay. Lunch on check in day; was good with a wide variety to suit our entire family from picky little ones to a GF food allergy. They covered it all.

We also had the breakfast buffet. It was Huge and tasted great. I got the “Elvis” French toast. They were really good. It’s pricey, so we went on our last day to end the vacation with a great breakfast.

Food was fine but why is it ok to serve people food at different times ie so you are sat together but have to eat in relay! Drinks are slow and if you want a cold glass of white wine you better request this in advance as they don't seem to put wine in the fridge! Come on Hard Rock get a chef who can prepare 6 meals at the same time......its not too much to expect!

Special cooking stations set up for New Year's Eve were well received by all the guests. The crown rack of lamb, roasted sirloin, seared ahi tuna and fresh raw oysters with a vingarette sauce were my favorite items. All were extremely tasty and well presented.

A dessert bar was set up on the third floor with over 30 items that were a delight to eat and well presented!

I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great meal and a fun evening! Well done!!

Our server was terrible. She never came to check on our meals or offered refill water. We wanted a second bottle of wine for our table if 5-she never returned. Never offered bread or salad as an alacart or otherwise. Food portions so small we spent high average for dinner and all left unsatisfied. Spent 4 days eating out at the resort restaurants and this was the only one with terrible service and food.

Enjoyed The Kitchen at the Hard Rock Hotel at Christmas, but make sure your not in a hurry or starving. The service was very slow, especially when bringing our dinners. The manager was very helpful and polite in answering our questions.

Food was okay. Chicken Paillard was tiny, not even half a breast, for $21. Unfortunately, two of the four of us ordered it and left hungry. Stopped at Emack and Bolios for a snack. That tainted our evening a bit

We met with some family friends for a great experience inside the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando. We noticed that Tuesdays are 'Kids Can Cook' nights at The Kitchen. Our kids loved making their own pizzas and getting to watch them go into the oven. A truly special experience for them.

I ordered the filet, asked for medium rare, got medium, but the flavor was still good. Not a big deal excepting the hefty price tag. All other entrees came out as ordered.

To end our night, we took the Kitchen Sink Cake to go. It was more than enough for 6 people. In fact, we couldn't finish it all!

Overall, a good dining experience. I would return and recommend for a group especially on a Tuesday for kids' night!

Great brunch: good food, made to order omelets, pancakes and waffles. Most amazing sticky buns :>) Our waiter, David, was wonderful! So helpful and friendly with our group of 9. We did the same brunch here 4 years ago and had to do it again while we were at Universal Orlando. We did the upgraded brunch to include Mimosas, Champagne and bloody Marys. Great way to start out our Sunday. Thank you, Hard Rock!
